					<description>&quot;Do some research on Joseph Smith, and then question his “religious” philosophy.&quot;

-Are you saying that because he's LDS, he's dangerous?

I've spoken to Chris many times on the phone, and one thing's for sure, Barbara is full of it.

Why don't you simply talk to Chris himself in a normal attitude instead of attacking him as Barbara suggests.</description>

					<description>Christopher Hansen does not tell any of you the Truth.  HE is more intolerate of other religions than anyone.  IF you disagree with his political philosophy, or self professed religion, he reduces himself to slander, and name calling, the very thing most Americans are tired of, INSTEAD of debating, in law, ANY of the political issues.  He is a candidate of extremism, professing an ideology bereft in knowledge and understanding of the American Republic.  He claims he reads the founding fathers, but it is a FACT in history that George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin, said BEWARE of political factions; the very thing he advocates.  He easily calls another a traitor without ever substantiating facts.  When called on the carpet for his inaccuracies, he once again, reduces himself to kindergarten name calling and bullying.  This is NOT someone I would ever want even close to the presidency, for he has no diplomacy, and is nearer to a David Koresh or the Kool Aid Jim Jones of Guyana in his religious political philosophy.  He is a dangerous man.  I can tell you how to find out.  Begin to research his self proclaimed religion, which for a minimum yearly contribution of $100.00, one can be an &quot;ordained&quot; minister, and question him regarding it.  Do some research on Joseph Smith, and then question his &quot;religious&quot; philosophy.  IF you disagree with him he will NOT debate the issues; he will call you a traitor or, if he finds anything in your life he doesn't like, he will use that as a weapon as he cannot debate the issues, and knows nothing of the geopolitical state of the world.  He has done this time and again to folks I know personally, and it is sickening.</description>

					<description>&quot;Interestingly enough we get along quite well with the Catholics in the Constitution Party who are very much No Exceptionist because their Pope told them they should be. I am happy to work with them and do work with Catholics. They do not try to force their religious beliefs on me and we work together on issues we agree upon and agree to disagree on others which is how it should be in politics. Many Catholics have contacted me concerned that if the kick the “Mormons” out in Nevada that the Catholics would be next. They had good reason to be concerned.&quot;

-what I told your sister in Tampa, the usual MO in these fights too much, whether Pro-life or other issues.</description>

					<description>I'm sorry guys, but comparing this interview with Allen Hacker's definitely shows the wide gap in third partyism.

Please, no hard feelings, but the sheer education level in the tone of this interview has to be at least 9th grade.

Compared to the Hacker interview, I just...see a very, very big difference in not the platform positions or history, but just the answers. The way they ...gah, I can't even describe it all.

Someone needs to save the Nevada affiliate. Get it more professionally run.

(full disclosure: I am in fact a No Exceptionist, as well as the former media consultant for &lt;a href=&quot;www.larrykilgore.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Larry Kilgore, the 2nd place finisher in the Texas GOP gubernatorial primary&lt;/a&gt; and former CPer)</description>

					<description>Hey Gary Odom,

I gave your phone number to several government attorneys that are representing the government officials and departments that we are suing. They may be contacting you but I did not have your email address.

It is about petitioning at the Reno DMV. They may want to depose you.

I was in depos for two days this week and they need me for 2 more in July. It was exhausting but fun to tell them what liars, thieves and criminal their clients were.

One attorney tried to force me to give yes or no answers so I threatened to arrest her for subornation of perjury. She didn't try it again.

The Deputy Attorney General (defending the Secretary of State) told me I could have him define any words I did not understand so I asked him what the legal definition of &quot;dollar&quot; was since the Constitution says a State can only make gold and Silver Coin as payment in tender of debt.

He couldn't tell me so I told him I could not tell him how many &quot;dollars&quot; I made working.

What fun to confront these Fascists.</description>

					<description>Scott T. Whiteman,

Thanks Scott for the clarification. 

I was throwing a few of the names into one basket along with mixing together those that had writen what most may consider to be somewhat negitive comments about me and my religion.

Maybe someday you and I can accomplish some good together. My hand is always extended in friendship.</description>

					<description>Brandon H.,

I care very much about Citizen's Unalienable rights. 

I, however, am not a taxpayer and really care very little about &quot;taxpayer's rights.&quot;

Tax payers are different. I am a tax payer. But Taxpayers are IRS voluntary slaves. If they are trying to be free then I support them. If they want to remain taxpayers then I care not what happens to them Soylent Green sounds like a good solution for them.</description>

					<description>NewFederalist

I have heard the “smoother is better” suggestion many times. For years Nevada IAP candidates tried to get into the statewide debates. They tried to be nice and were nicely turned down. I got into the debates by standing up at the last debate and demanding to know why I was not invited. I will be in the debate on June 22nd. It will be televised. I got what “smooth” didn’t get.
http://www.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2006/06/01/local_news/news02.txt

I was told to be smooth when I took over as State Chairman of the IAP. The IAP had failed to have significant growth for 4 years going from 17,422 in January of 2000 AD  17,707 in December of 2003 AD. Then “Mr. Radical” took over. In 2004 AD. As of April 2006AD we have 40,147 registered members.

I do not care about “good press.” I care about press. I follow the, “Just Spell My Name Right” philosophy.  Because I am “controversial” the press wants to cover what I do. If it bleeds it leads. If it causes discussion and argument it leads too. Here is an example: http://www.lasvegasweekly.com/2003/07_03/index.html

Look at Ann Coulter’s new book. Bestseller! Was she smooth or in your face? (I hate her.)

I get in the faces of government officials. I sue them. I file complaints with the Ethics Commission. I go after police that violate rights. I hassle judges. I work with Libertarians, Catholics, Gay Rights Activists, members of the Jewish faith, the ACLU, members of Islam, the Minutemen and elected officials. I work with any one on any issue that will help us get our freedom back and I am bold and brash about it and I do not apologize for it because it works. The proof is in the 22,440 increase in membership which is a 127% increase since I became chairman. If you can name another State Party chairman of ANY minor party with a greater increase in both numbers and percentage in 3 years then I want to have a conference call with that person because I want to learn from the master.

The problem with minor party leaders is they want to get along with everyone. I don’t. I want to find out who is willing to go where angels fear to tread. Lead, Follow or get the Hell out of the way. Right now I am leading. If there is a better leader in Nevada then bring him forward because leading is hard work and I am getting tired. I need to find someone to take over in late 2007 AD but all I can find are people that do not want to be controversial. We will be down to 20,000 members again by 2010 AD unless I can find him/her.

Rev. 3: 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Was that smooth?</description>

					<description>Hi Jason,

Thanks for your comments.

I do not wish the Constitution Party to die. I do not feel wronged by the Constitution Party. I want it to thrive. In order for it to thrive some of the dead wood needs to be cut away to allow for new healthy growth. Hopefully I have facilitated that.

I do not feel my back is against the wall at all. I feel Christ has got my back so it is well covered. 

In Nevada we are growing by leaps and bounds. I want the Constitution Party to be able to do the same. I have repeatedly welcomed those of all beliefs to join with us and set aside any differences to work against the Beast (the bankers, IRS, the Federal Reserve, etc.) to make America a free country again. Some agree but some refuse. There is nothing I can do about those that hate me or refuse to work with me because of my religious beliefs. I will not surrender my beliefs but I never force them on others.

We won a big court case today concerning petitioning and stopping the Unions from harassing petitioners trying to lower taxes. We keep having success. The State parties that do not wish to work with us are normally States that are almost dead because of their exclusionary beliefs. On the other hand Nevada’s Independent American Party is becoming a force to be reckoned with. 

You wrote: “Why not out think those that are against you?” I did. They left the party. I stayed. We were not kicked out. I would have won even if we had been kicked out. Plan “B” was in the wings if needed. It was a two edged sword for those that opposed me. They left on their own without me even asking them to. If they want to come back they are still welcome but they will have to stop wasting our time on trying to kick out every one that disagrees with them on abortion. I want all abortions to end. I have a different way to accomplish that goal than the folks that left. They do not like my method. They lost.

I have no idea what you mean by doomsday prophesy. Please explain.

And what stance do you want me to re-think? Please explain.

I do not want anything bad top happen to anyone or anything. I want success for the liberty of all.</description>

					<description>I've never met Chris Hansen personally, but I've known his sister, Janine,
and his mother, Ruth, for about 30 years.  In 2004, while doing some political work in Reno, Nevada, I was a houseguest of Janine and her husband, who graciously put up with me for 5 weeks. I had also met Dan Hansen on many occasions.  Its just amazing, but in all those years, I somehow missed seeing any member of the Hansen (nuclear or extended) family (devout Mormans as they are) doing any devil worshiping.  What I have observed is they are people with a deep, abiding, and genuine faith in God and love of family and country.  These are people who practice REAL Christian love in their everyday dealings with people.  The Hansen family certainly doesn't need me to defend them or their faith (of which I am not a member), but I'll be damned if I'll sit back and be silent while some Johnny-Come-Lately fanatic who has held himself out to be a leader in the Constitution Party defames these good people as &quot;devil-worshippers.&quot;

Scott Whiteman is a paid employee and the principle advance man for a certain former candidate who spent a week campaigning in Utah in 2004 and also accepted Hansen hospitality when they set up his campaign events in Nevada.  I wonder how many times on those trips, while that candidate was asking for votes from largely Mormon supporters, he, or his staff, told them they were &quot;devil-worshippers?&quot; Oh, I see, it wouldn't have been expedient then, huh? 

These kind of nutty comments do not represent the Constitution Party leadership or its rank and file members. Frankly, it's embarrassing to think that anyone, such as Mr. Whiteman, who has represented himself to be some kind of leader in the party would utter such a stupid and irresponsible comment and it's absolutely inconceivable that he would be proud enough of it to repeat it.</description>

					<description>Why? So what if he is Mormon? Isn't this a political party? If not, I need to know now.</description>

					<description>To clarify, I referred to Chris Hansen as a &quot;devil worshiping Mormon,&quot; not a &quot;cultist.&quot;</description>

					<description>I don't think it will, if the zealots want to hijack our party then we need to show them the door. It's really that simple. The leadership is aware of those who seek to establish a religious order within the party -- and hopefully, their days are numbered. I did not  join over my religious convictions: I go to church for that. 

NHQ needs to stamp this out fast and in a hurry before it threatens everything. 

Brandon, I emailed you a quesition. I used your website to find your contact information, hope you do not mind.</description>
